Halloumi mad

Whilst recently making dinner with my boyfriend, I randomly stopped mid conversation to ask him if he’s noticed my weird food habits yet? “Funny enough”, he says in a dry sarcastic tone, “yes I have.” Haha. I laugh, but I’m not sure whether this is a good thing or not. Let me explain… This beautiful picture down below is a simple cous cous salad, with peppery leaves, roasted peppers and my new favourite; halloumi cheese.

It tastes like what I call ‘roasted cheese’ in Scotland, but without the bread. I got my first taste from my boyfriend during one of our many many (much loved) trips to Nando’s.

It’s rather strange that I should like halloumi, after all I am usually freaked out by the texture of certain products. Until recent times the only cheese I would eat would be mature cheddar (the white one) , and now I’m eating feta, and mad about halloumi?!

Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe I’m expanding my horizons and opening my mind up to explore new textures and flavours, lol. The weird thing about my food habit, which I mentioned earlier is that when I find something I like to eat, I get frequent cravings for that particular combination, or product and eat it until I’ve had waaaaay too much and I simply can’t eat another bite; for at least three years. Seriously, this is what I mean… for example, my love for chilli con carne has driven me to eat the delicious meal at least four times in this past week. This taste bud has been re-building itself up again over the last few weeks. By the time this week is over I will probably have ate at least another two bowls of chilli too. Thankfully, I’ve gone through this with Chilli before, and we still have a steady relationship.
